such small HANDS
"such small HANDS" is a raw, lyrical journey through the relentless terrain of grief, written in the aftermath of an unthinkable loss- the death of the author's daughter, Aurelia Star. This collection is more than poetry; a mother attempts to breathe through the unbearable, to speak into the silence, and to keep hold of love when it no longer has a body.
With haunting honesty and a soul-stirring voice, Tiffany Ann crafts poems between worlds where memories shimmer like glass, time no longer moving straight, and love refuses to die. Each page becomes both wound and salve. She invites the reader into the sacred space of mourning, where spirit and shadow intertwine.
But this book is not only for those who have lost a child. It's for anyone who has stood in the stillness of death and whispered a name into the stars. Anyone who has begged for one more moment. Anyone who has stayed.
Tiffany offers empty spaces in the book for readers to write their truths because this grief is not just hers. It belongs to anyone who needs a place to set it down.
"such small HANDS" is a testimony of grief, but more than that, it is a continuing love story.
